I don't think Meltemi immediately relates to 'melt me' nor would it conjure up images of 'melting cpu cores', since neither of those are common concerns of a mobile device nowadays anyhow.

It sounds kind of exotic and may trigger queries to find out more about its origin/context as it has numerous times in the threads here.

Certainly better than MeeGo or Tizen names....

Let's just hope Meltemi doesn't evolve and gets rebranded as Poo OS by Nokia's marketing geniuses.

Dilmom: Why don't you call your product the Gruntmaster 6000?
Dilbert: What kind of product do you see when you imagine a Gruntmaster 6000?
Dilmom: Well it's a stripped-down version of the Gruntmaster 9000 of course. But it's software-upgradeable.

But that's all part of planned obsolescence. It's what makes the world goes 'round these days.

True, but you set the bar so low that the comparison hardly matters.

You shouldn't write stuff like this.

I can hear 'Oohh's coming from the former T-shirt designers in Nokia's London office. Perfect self-irony in a hipster kind of way. They'll start working on it once their book "Nokia leader in social marketing 2.0: How to ruin value effortlessly" is finished

Q: How many Microsoft software engineers does it take to change a light bulb?

A: None.. that's a Nokia hardware problem. :P

It wouldn't be too far fetched to imagine them thinking that it would be cute to name their new OS, Espoo... and then revel in how clever they are at naming it after Nokia's home city--despite how it sounds to everyone outside of Finland. :P

That's all fine and nice and I know these references and can give you much better relevant one -- http://youtu.be/w9evWShXtDY?t=4m51s where the ship is called "Pobeda" ("Victory") and becomes "beda" ("disaster").

Yet, you clearly miss the point of internal names and what is known publicly. (And no, a leak is not a public advertisement, much less a marketed product name).

Pissed OS? Or P.O.S for short.

Whenever I see the name I keep hearing the shrieks of the Wicked Witch of the West in Wizard of Oz -- "I'm melting!"
